How to Raise Children
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you speak to young children, end your sentences with a period, not a question mark. So advises Mrs. Rebecca Masinter, a mother of six and the author of a weekly parenting column based on the parsha. (She's also a great-great niece of Reb Elyah Lopian.) Among her other pieces of advice: Project confidence in front of your children, don't be afraid to be different, trust your intuition, hold off on the cell phone, and don't rush to bring you kid to an "expert." You're the expert when it comes to your child, she argues.
